    Hi Dhruv,

    It does not happen for Ops Center, it probably happens for fsutil function on Windows, before format please try to disable the DeleteNotify function and post format you can enable it again this will reduce the format time, command is as mentioned below:

    For disabling DeleteNotify

    fsutil behavior set DisableNotify 1

    For enabling DisableNotify function

    fsutil behavior set DisableNotify 0

    I hope this will reduce your formatting time, for more details you can google on this fsutil. Thanks.

    Hi Dhruv,

    SOM settings belongs to storage side and it takes care by support team, better to create a case with support team so that they can analyze and let you know the root cause behind it by analyzing storage logs and Ops Center logs if needed.
